h6 tolerance

h6 is a tolerance class for shafts. On a 20 mm diameter it means -13 to 0 µm from the nominal size.

How to read it

The letter tells where the tolerance zone sits relative to the nominal size, the number how wide it is (grade IT6). Capitals are for holes, lower case for shafts. With h the upper limit is always zero: the shaft is never larger than nominal.

Other classes

Values computed from the IT grades and fundamental deviations of ISO 286-1, checked against several published tables. For critical designs the standard itself is what counts.

Compute h6 for your exact diameter and pair it with a hole.
